MODERATORS
We removed many comments, since its a blanket term used to demonize leftists, like "commie", and carry out anti-communist witch-hunts (the instance you're currently on blocks the major leftist lemmy servers, so we're seeing a lot of witch-hunters).
Its kinda similar to going to a non-theist forum, and asking, "hey everyone, what's a heathen?" And a lot of the answers then demonize these supposed "heathens".
